Adobo is a quintessential part of Filipino cuisine. There is no set recipe and each family has their own version that is unique and equally delicious. Ingredients are usually eyeballed and adjusted while it cooks so when you ask someone for their recipe, they will just give you the basics and say, “just add a little bit more of this and that”!

My version of adobo includes an extra step in the end that involves frying and simmering the sauce until it thickens. This gives it a rich golden brown color and additional flavor that takes it a notch above the regular boil and simmer method. Also, hardboiled eggs are a must and tastes really great with the adobo. If you’ve heard or even tried adobo before, give this a try and let me know what you think!

In a dutch oven pan or deep pot, add chicken thighs, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, bay leaves and black pepper. Place it on the stove and turn on heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.

Increase heat to medium and remove cover. Season with salt according to taste and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove chicken and sauce from the pot and set aside in a bowl.

In the same pot over medium heat, add coconut oil or ghee. Add the chicken pieces (minus the sauce) and fry for 2 minutes until golden brown. Add hardboiled eggs and pour in the sauce. Mix everything so the egg is coated with the sauce. Simmer until the sauce reduces slightly, about 2 minutes.

Yum!!! I grew up in the Philippines and I love Filipino food. Adobo is in my top favorites…I used to beg my mom to make it. (We’re American but she learned to cook Filipino.) I just bought some chicken thighs so I think it’s time to bring back good memories!
